Felicity Island
| ||||||||||||||||||
Felicity Island is one of the neighborhoods from The Sims Castaway Stories. This island is where the story Shipwrecked and Single takes place.
Lots
The lots on Felicty island all have travel portals instead of the normal roads seen in all other neighborhoods. Each lot has at least one, although many of the community lots have several that lead to specific areas on the travel map (the image to the right). During the Shipwrecked and Single story, some of the community lots temporarily become residential lots.
Community Lots
- The Abandoned Research Base: This is the most technologically advanced place on Felicity Island -- featuring electricity, running water, and a sense of foreboding. Although it’s not clear exactly what happened here, the fact that this place was abandoned so quickly is still unsettling.
- Barren Banks: One of the harsher areas of Felicity Island, but it’s still worth the trip to gather resources here. If you find yourself starting to take trees for granted, come here to regain some perspective. Shade really is a luxury.
- The Boneyard: Under a heavy canopy of trees, many once-living things have come here for their final rest. Some of the bones are from familiar animals that you see every day, but some of them hint that something very big once prowled these shores.
- Broken Wings: This is the site of the worst, and possibly only, airplane crash Felicity Island has ever seen. It could also be considered a museum of Sim aviation or a good place to look for scrap.
- Castaway Beach: One of the loveliest stretches of beach on Felicity Island is also a haven for beachcombers. The currents around the island carry a lot of marine life, flotsam and even the occasional castaway Sim to these shores.
- Creepy Hollow: Sure, it's creepy, but it's not that bad. You've lived through worse, right? The old shaman used to camp here, and you can make good use of the site as well -- it's also one of the quietest places on Felicity Island.
- The Crossroads: The crossroads are more of a gateway to other places than a destination in itself, but it's still a nice spot to go for a stroll -- stopping every once in a while to smell the flowers, or talk to strangers as they pass through.
- Dead Man's Cove: If you can put its tragic past out of your mind, Dead Man's Cove offers some surprising comforts and resources. This lot is an ideal stop on long trips away from home because of its communal lean-to and available fishing.
- The Forbidden Village: This village was hastily abandoned when a mysterious plague struck the local tribe. The plague is no longer a problem, but painful memories still linger in the tribe’s memory, so it stands as a monument to the departed.
- The Hot Springs: These naturally formed hot springs are a true marvel of Felicity Island. Relaxing and therapeutic, the Hot Springs are a great place to socialize or just enjoy the scenery.
- The House of Tuzu: Tuzu is the tribe’s name for the island’s great central volcano. The ancients built a magnificent building in Tuzu’s name, containing mystical secrets for those who dare to approach.
- Hullaba Luau: When the tribe throws a party, they know how do to it right. Although this may look like a simple clearing, there's enough food and fun here to keep the tribe and their guests going all night.
- The Jungle: Jungle -- it's almost everywhere on Felicity Island, but it's especially thick here. The lush vegetation and landscape here offer a variety of resources. Say "hello" to the orangutans while you're here.
- The Lava Pools: Situated at the heart of Volcano Island, this location offers stunning views of rock, lava and incredible environmental heat. If you need to gather stone look no further, just don't trip and fall.
- The Petrified Forest: This forest is what happens when trees give up on life, but it's still a beautiful and unusual environment. Abundant stone and still water add to a sense of calm and serenity.
- Primeval Shrine: One of the last remains of a vanished culture, this big and imposing shrine isn't so frightening once you get to know it. In addition to offering wonderful scenery, it's possible to gather food here.
- Scavenger Fields: Need grass? There's some here. Actually, there's a lot here. Scavenger Field is also the site of the mysterious Stone Oddities -- strange relics of an ancient, some say alien, presence.
- Shady Lagoon: This is a beautiful and peaceful place with a rustic cabin and an all-natural waterfall, and placid pool to swim in. Relax by the waterfall or bring some food to cook and make a day of it.
- Simian City: Stop by this home of the island's orangutans to say hello or just grab some bananas. Most Sims would consider this more of a village than a city, but it's still a nice place to be.
- The Swamp: There isn't a brooding bog-covered creature around, but this is still pure unadulterated swamp. The soil here is moist and fertile, and the trees have responded accordingly.
- Village Harbor: The center of village life, the Village Harbor features a cafe, wedding facilities and the offices of the tribal chief. Come here to keep up with old friends, or make some new ones.
- Village Market: What the land can't provide for you the villagers probably can, so if there's a need you have to fill, you can probably find the answer here. Clothing and groceries are readily available, as well as local handicrafts.
- Volcano Shores: If you can't stand being surrounded by lush vegetation for another minute, a visit to volcano shores will help ease your greenery blues. The monotonous rock and extreme temperatures will help you appreciate the jungle all over again.
